UPDATE [10:23 a.m.]: According to the WSB 24-hour Traffic Center, crash cleanup continues from the wreckage of an overturned tractor-trailer on the I-285 ramp to I-75 in Cobb County, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. The truck was carrying 89 cows when it tipped over, trapping some cows and spilling more than 70 on to the interstate.

There is no estimated time of clearance.

Poor cows and Atlanta drivers.

Now THAT is cow tipping.

It’s hard to get an accurate cow head count when Rep.’s John Lewis, Hank Johnson, Sanford Bishop, and David Scott. :)

Traffic is mooooving along.

89 cows on a semi? They had to be crammed in there like sardines. And with that much weight, it was top-heavy. So when the numbskull driver took the ramp at excess speed, it rolled over. It’s elementary, Watson.

Sorry, but I have a beef with comments like that. It steers the conversation in the wrong direction. So quit milking this story for laughs.

To the media types, all bovines are “cows”. If these cattle happened to be young heifers, 89 of them might still have breathing room. But speeding on the exit ramp is still not advised.

It happened before back in the 90s. I was on 285 going from spaghetti junction to Avondale Estates. What a mess! It took hours to clear the wreck and catch all the cows. Iirc some in the truck died.
